Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Coneyhurst, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

How we handle fire stopping in Coneyhurst
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. Most enquiries involve non-fire-rated filler around services and snag lists that include open service penetrations, on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations. Most enquiries from Coneyhurst start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions around Coneyhurst can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Why deal with it now?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Around Coneyhurst, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Signs you need fire stopping in Coneyhurst
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
Tenant changes at parks like Rosier Commercial Centre (to the north-west of Coneyhurst) bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

Fire-rated sealing for Coneyhurst buildings
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. At about 37 miles from central London, Coneyhurst is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls.
Holiday works at schools like The Weald School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Colleges such as Brinsbury College (to the south-west of Coneyhurst) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
Coneyhurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Any commercial site in Coneyhurst is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Coneyhurst is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page.

Nearby places we also cover include Billingshurst (2 miles north-west), Five Oaks (3 miles north), Newpound Common (3 miles north-west), The Haven (4 miles north) and Slinfold (5 miles north).

What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products, and we’ll say if that applies.
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we’ll never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.

What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Coneyhurst?

It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.

Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
